From May 29 to 31, the HIMSS 24 Europe Conference took place in Rome. The European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI) of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (THD) had a significant presence: with a booth, volunteers, and participation in a panel discussion.
The dynamic ECRI booth was a central hub, attracting attendees with presentations on the successful Master of Digital Health program and showcasing innovative health informatics research projects. Highlights included the DigiHealthDay forum. The booth featured the ECRI Digital Health team, led by Prof. Dr. Georgi Chaltikyan, along with Anna Schmaus-Klughammer, Dimitry Etin, Jishen Pfeiffer, and Fara Fernandes.
ECRI's collaboration with the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) was underscored by the high number of ECRI volunteers. Nine students, more than half of the volunteer team, assisted in various conference activities, demonstrating strong organisational and communication skills. Student Lusine Shahverdyan praised the volunteer experience for the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and stay updated on healthcare technology advancements.
A highlight was the panel discussion led by Prof. Dr. Georgi Chaltikyan, titled "One Click Too Many - Reducing the Operational Burden on Clinical Staff," focusing on workflow optimisation in clinics through AI and user-friendly data solutions.
ECRI's involvement in HIMSS 24 Europe underscores its commitment to advancing innovation and excellence in digital health education. The annual conference, hosted by HIMSS, brings together industry leaders and cutting-edge technologies.
